Evolution of Pre-Insulated Supports

Old School Method

Wood crafted around the pipe

Conventional MethodInsulation wrapped

around the pipe

Pre-Insulated Method

Insulation inside the support


Benefits of Pre-Insulated Supports

O Saves money O Saves labor

O No special weldingO No expensive final

adjustmentO No temperature/energy lossO No special materialO Increases support spacingO Energy efficientO Quick installation &

alignmentO Low maintenance

Pre- Insulated Supports can be:

Support from above:

Hanging

Support from

below : Base

Mounted

Support from

below : On a pipe roll(s)


What is a protection shield?

O The protection shield is often made from carbon steel and is placed around the insulation material.

O Used for protection before and after installation


How to pick pre-insulated support materials

Polyurethane Foam for Cold Applications

Calcium Silicate for Hot

Applications

Material Temperature

Calcium Silicate +40°F to +1800°F

Polyurethane - 275°F to + 275°F

Foam Glass - 450°F to + 900°F

Permali/Insulam - 328°F to + 248°F

A-series (A1000-A9000)

Details• Commercial and light

industrial applications• Commonly used on

chilled and heating water systems

• Generally for small loads & movements

• Clevis hangers/rollers/ strut clamp/strut channel not included!

• Popular with Mechanical ContractorsPipe Shields Inc.

B-series (B1000-B8300)

Details• Heavy industrial

and large HVAC systems

• For larger loads (vertical & lateral)

• For larger movements

• Supports pipe from below (base mounted)

• Slide plates & guides included


C-series (C1000-C4300)



• For larger multi-directional loads and movements.

• Supports pipe from below (base mounted)

• Restrains all pipe movements


D-series (D1000-D6300)



• For larger loads and movements.

• Supports pipe from above (hanger)

• Takes advantage of hanger spacing due to large load capacity


E-series (E1000-E2300)

Details• Commercial, light and

heavy industrial and large HVAC systems

• For smaller and larger loads and movements.

• Supports pipe in a vertical or “riser” configuration

• Designs available to restrain both upward and downward loads


G-series (G1000-G3000)

Details• Miscellaneous

pipe clamping hardware

• Typically used in conjunction with A1000-A9000 Series


How are pre-insulated supports made?


O After the selection process, cut & form all steel materials then weld them together

O Create, pour and cut insulation material

O Assemble insulation material and steel cradle

O Package together and shipO Supports are usually

shipped as one unit & then disassembled & reassembled during installation

Calcium Silicate Insulation

InstallationO Disassemble pre- insulated

supportO Slide insulation inserts

onto the pipeO Interlock top insert with

bottom insertO Install pipe hanger

hardware (clevis or hanger)

O Attach other necessary hardware


Maintenance


O Pre- insulated supports are low maintenance

O Periodic maintenance includes:O Bolt torque requirementsO Rod hanger adjustmentsO Inspect and touch-up

materials for possible corrosion

O Inspect insulation material for possible failures

O Inspect and clean polyethylene slide material

Field Services O Field InspectionsO Installation of pre-insulated supportsO Installation and inspection trainings
